"And The Glass Handed Kites is a record that works better as a complete album than as a collection of songs. This was recognized by the band, as they created seamless transitions from track to track. The transitions create a structure wherein the songs are movements within the larger framework of ..." [+] Reply

"a pop masterpiece. i found it really hard to listen to it beyond Hollaback Girl because the first three songs are total killers and the other can sound like filler. But not at all. My favourites is Luxurious and the first three. Special mention to A Long Way To Go, i found it really interesting." Reply
"One of my favorite records by Mogwai, and one of the first that introduced me to the band when I was in high school. Incredible soundscapes, both heavy and beautiful. I love closing my eyes and letting this album wash over me. Favorite Tracks: Friend of the Night, Auto Rock, Glasgow Mega-Snake, T..." [+] Reply

"This should've been Bloc Party's follow-up to "Silent Alarm". This is a fun, new-wavey at times, almost dance-punkish at times, party album with some serious undertones ("four horsemen of 2012" anyone?), underscored by two dance floor ravers "golden skans" and "gravity's rainbow"." Reply

"My favourite Maiden album since Bruce and Adrian’s return. ‘Paschendale’ is one of the greatest songs they have ever created. ‘No More Lies’, the title track, the underrated ‘Montsegur’, the punchy ‘Wildest Dreams’, the catchy ‘Rainmaker’ are all excellent songs. Some dismiss this album because o..." [+] Reply

"Meh. This album is entirely predictable, which can be a good thing but the fact that it's so predictable and so short isn't. The lyrics are classic quirky semi-pessimistic generic stuff about people and the instrumentation is folk played loudly. This album is basically In The Aeroplane Over The S..." [+] Reply

"It's definitely not my thing (I'm a 54 year-old male). However, I do appreciate that she is exhibiting more talent than most of today's new music artists in any genre. That said, I prefer Jewel's "Pieces of You" which was recorded in 1995 when she was 21." Reply

""Beat Your Ass" picks up on "Inside-Out" and gives the swift kick in the ass the album title suggests. They're back with some upbeat guitar pop ready to take names and they want YOU to know it. That wry smirk of yours has Yo La Tengo written all over it." Reply
